CAN SOMEONE TELL ME AS HOW CAN I CREATE THE PIPE DRAWING WITH ALONG WITH THE BEND ANGLE AND TWIST ANGLE.

RE: PIPE DRAWING
You can bend pipes from 3D geometry, provided you can convey the manufacturing info in an appropriate format.
What sort of application do you use these pipes for?

RE: PIPE DRAWING
The problem with this "manual" process is that as a designer you will only know if the pipe you have designed can be made, when production does a trial bend.
Several iterations per pipe will be necessary; model geometry changes -> drawing changes; unless you have got parametric points that means a lot of time and effort.
If you can convince someone in there to be "exposed" to Tubing Design, the process will be slightly simpler; Dassault used to provide a script (report) where the cartesian coordinates where extracted from the model.
Of course the investment only makes sense depending on the volume of pipes to produce and their complexity.
The pipes are used for what?
